A listing of published books written by Richard St. Barbe Baker. This list does not include the unpublished books held on file at the University of Saskatchewan Library, Archives and Special Collections Room, Murray Building.

There is a personal warmth in all the books that he wrote, in his speeches, and public appearances and it is felt that we knew him in a sort of personal way, as if we had shaken hands with him, and heard his voice; and we always have a feeling that he is addressing us in our own person.

Friends frequently refer to the intensity of his passionate affection for acquaintances and those he met, and of the full and free expression he gave it. In his speech before audiences and in writings, how fearfully strong are all his feelings and affections! It is indeed a deep satisfaction to hope and believe that the works of Richard St. Barbe Baker will be, a help to the cause of the earth, of humanity, especially as it relates to sustaining the environment and mankind by the planting of trees, and protecting trees everywhere.

Indeed, the personality of St. Barbe seems to have produced a very marked effect upon all the great men and women with whom he came in contact. St Barbe’s regard for those he had the pleasure of meeting was very great, and within his correspondence there is not one but rather many letters where he sends a kindly and a warm greeting. There is, of course, a great deal of mutual admiration of each other’s work, very genuine, ever pleasant to hear about. When reading St. Barbe’s reminiscences, and writings a picture of what sort of man St. Barbe really is becomes evident, and but much that will add to the kindly impression which St Barbe has made upon others

“I believe in the Oneness of Mankind and all living things and the interdependence of each and all.”~ Richard St. Barbe Baker

“Besides water, trees provide pure air. They are the great filtering machines for the human organism. They improve and transform the air in a way which is most favorable and most acceptable to the lungs of man.”…. “According to ancient mythology, trees were the first living things on earth. This is borne out by scientific reasoning which shows that it is through them that the air we breathe can give life to humanity. Through countless ages trees have been drawing carbonic acid gas from the atmosphere, absorbing and incorporating the carbon, assimilating it; then when they die, bequeathing to soil their carboniferous remains. The consequence has been that eventually the atmospheric oxygen was left sufficiently pure for the requirements of birds and mammals which have replaced the flying reptiles and monstrous amphibians that were able to endure the heavy air of primeval swamps and jungles.” ~Richard St. Barbe Bkaer– from Trees and Life Selected wirtings of Richard St. Barbe Baker
